The strategy aims to create conditions for safety of cyberspace and its safe use in interests of the society and the state.

“The modern information technologies might be used for committing terrorist acts, specifically by hacking automatic systems of management at infrastructure objects. Politically motivated hostile activity results in attacks on government and private web sites.
